UAEFAblue is 100% correct. We likely would have managed to survive had we recruited better, especially with 130M+ spent. For that, McKenna and Ashton are chief cultprits. We should have followed more of the Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth recruiting blueprint. Hopefully, we can rubber-band back up in 2026-2027.

Can we do ratings per half? Because first half ratings double or triple second half! I honestly don’t know why we had zero fitness second half having only played one game in ages nor why we looked nervous and made silly errors at the start of the second half. Questions for the management to address and hopefully learn from.
Morsy was so good with the ball but Gomes ran rings around him when he didn’t have it. Townsend should have come off way before his injury as his winger had him for pace. Delap and Encisco were so lively first half but Encisco lacked any energy second. This was a loss due to tiredness not because wolves changed anything at half time. Such a shame.
Did anyone else think the ref gave up for the last 10 minutes? Stopped giving obvious fouls, let their keeper take a free kick miles from where it was supposed to be even after asking him to love it back, no yellow card despite giving one to Palmer for coming off his line early for the indirect free kick. Must have been desperate to get home and watch his idiot clattenburg on gladiators!
Good minutes for the suns but Taylor was a strange one-woefully out of his depth at this level. Philogene completely shot of confidence. It showed that Chappers hasn’t played in ages.

We are just not good enough especially in the midfield.Morsy is a yard to slow while Broadhed spent the match chasing shadows.
Our back line spends most of every game with their backs to the wall while the opposition midfield dominate the game

I agree Maltster that our midfield isn’t good enough-starting the season with Morsy (good on the ball too slow at this level off it) Phillips (barely played in years) Cajuste (quality but never played at this pace and can’t string 2 games together) Luongo (well past it) and Taylor (League one level at best) was a mistake. Not spending funds on building from the back first was a mistake.
It’s our first season in the prem and I hope the club learn from those mistakes
But I don’t think that’s why we lost yesterday. We were easily good enough first half and had the beating of them but looked to be tiring. We should have rotated. We should have made changes sooner. We should be expecting more from the players coming off the bench. We lost that game Wolves didn’t win it. The team and manager are so different from earlier in the season when the threat of relegation was a long way off. Now it’s here (pretty much) maybe we’ll see them all relax and start to play again and build some
Confidence back before next season
